Need to abandon another destructive phrase: Gun Violence. Guns don't kill with a human activating it. People kill other people... gun are inanimate objects that do nothing on their own. Gun Violence is strictly political anti-gun rhetoric.

Amen. Our 'epidemic of gun violence' a very faulty term, doesn't pinpoint an issue with all of the patriotic gun owners who purchased firearms legally and generally spend a little more to have safety and marksmanship classes. You're 100% correct that it is political ignorance of facts.

Yes to all of these! Several years ago one of the PDs in my area held an implicit bias workshop that they extended to the public. I couldn't believe it.

It was mandatory for all city employees for the 'peace and justice initiative' at a local college. We learned about micro aggressions and implicit bias. oppressors and victims.
